The free agent market starts when your world rolls over. Players consider offers for the first three real-time days, then begin signing at the start of real time day Four. Unsigned players are available till the start of day 11, when scheduled league games begin. At that point unsigned players will sign with any AI teams in the world to fill out rosters.

Earlier in the thread where pajamainc was discussing exhibition games he listed a few things about them such as injured players can play, it doesn't effect their stats, etc... I didn't see that it addressed their ratings. Does anyone know, I usually get a late start and have my exhibitions mingled in with my league games. I've played this for some time but I'm not sure? I didn't read the entire thread sorry if this question is duplicated.

Your players ratings do not change no matter how many exhibition games you play. Exhibition games are best used for world tournaments, and seeing how best to set up your team to get the most out of them.

I signed up as USA,there were up to 10 teams on the waiting list,now there is only 3. How long should I expect to have to wait to get into a league. Worst case scenario,can I ever change the nationality of my team? I don't want to be waiting many months just to join a league.

Is there a defensive rating that would correlate with rash fouls? I have this 19 year old defender who is up-and-coming, but he gets way too many yellow cards and sometimes red cards. Just curious. Because otherwise I like him.

No, you just have to wait until their contracts expire, unless you can get somebody to do a transfer bid on the player. However, if you're considering cutting them, they're either really bad or really expensive, so it will be hard to find a buyer.

Would have answered this earlier had I seen it before now...

Long time ago when this game launched we were told by the developer that there is a hidden "Temper" rating.

The only way to see a player with a red card problem is after the fact... they'll show up on his player card. But they're often random and unpredictable. Just this season I had a player with one red card in his entire career, ten seasons ago, take TWO.

Now, if I see a player with a habit of red cards, sure I stay away from signing him. But it's up to the owner to decide if the player is good enough to make the risk worth carrying him.

Yellow cards are less of a problem... I've had plenty of players who get one yellow at a time, but never two in one game.
